Trespassers

We got up early this morning after the excitement of all

the security lights of our neighbors came on after 3AM.

We looked outside from various windows but saw nothing.

This morning we went outside to see if anything was missing

or disturbed again. Our NO TRESPASSING sign is missing.

No surprise since Steve Sikowski is in the habit of stealing

all signs in South Bend. It is a known fact that he has all the

missing political signs in his garage. He gets off work at midnite

and starts to pick up signs. What I have against him is his trying

to terrorize us. Yes, he is here with his friend almost every other

night. The police cannot sit on my doorstep waiting every night

to catch them.

We do not allow political signs in our yard. Anyone of the condo owners can put a sign in their window however. I'm sorry you are being harrassed this way.
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:41pm UTC
Thank you Sadie, I am trying to do everything legal.

JRB, could try contacting Attorney Generals Office? Might help, they can serve him with a restraining order such. Might need photographs of him so forth, car license plates and such, it's a thought.
Crin Forbes Sep 23, 2012, 12:06pm UTC
Let a camera roll around the time he is showing up, and show the video to the police.
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:40pm UTC
Now last night they came later than they usually do.
William M. Sep 23, 2012, 12:08pm UTC
I can see that someone might think signs in yards look bad, but he has no right removing them.
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:39pm UTC
No he doesn't , maybe with this post the police will search his garage.
"2016 " Sep 23, 2012, 6:57pm UTC
JRB I agree with William M on this one.
Juan J Martinez Sep 23, 2012, 12:11pm UTC
Jean I agree with Crin. After a brick was thrown through the back window of my car, my brother installed a couple of security cameras, which he hooked up to his desktop. Even though my property is fenced people if people are determined they will do what they want.
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:45pm UTC
A fence never stops anyone.
Rayda Renshaw Sep 23, 2012, 11:15pm UTC
a fence would stop me...but I'm a nice person. ;-)
Betty S. Sep 23, 2012, 12:11pm UTC
I'm sorry Jean.. Maybe you need to put one up that's medal and hook a hot wire it it.I had cousin who did that one morning to some dogs that the owners were allowing to run wild. She ask the owners to put them up because she couldn't feed her chickens nor her dog for his dogs getting all the food. It didn't kill them but when she unplugged the hot wire they left.
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:37pm UTC
That is against the law in this state.
Ryan Reid Sep 23, 2012, 12:13pm UTC
sounds like he has a bit of a problem...
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:36pm UTC
Yes, he hates women, has quite a record.
Tim T. Sep 23, 2012, 12:15pm UTC
video tape them and it's the proff needed for prosecution
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:54pm UTC
I will try that, Tim Thank you.
Susan G. Sep 23, 2012, 12:31pm UTC
Gather some proof and take it to the policy or your DA.
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:34pm UTC
My Attorney lready has some proof.
Time to set up some secret video cameras.
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:33pm UTC
My next step.
Tessa D. Sep 23, 2012, 1:25pm UTC
I've had people steal my no trespassing signs, but I never knew who they were -- that sounds scary
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:43pm UTC
They were seen by neighbors.
Phill Senters Sep 23, 2012, 2:26pm UTC
Video is the way to get him.
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:32pm UTC
I believe you are right.
Carrie Marie P. Sep 23, 2012, 2:27pm UTC
wow... well, maybe mentioning in his name in a public forum will help cease the activity or possibly get you in trouble for slander? :(
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:30pm UTC
No I am not in trouble as we have a 2 year protection Order for both of them.
Steph-in-NE ..... Sep 23, 2012, 3:25pm UTC
wow need something to be done,, I am getting harrase on cell phone and I have the company dealing with it,,
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 3:31pm UTC
We changed our phone number.
Karen E. Sep 23, 2012, 3:50pm UTC
Why is this happening?
Jean R B. Sep 23, 2012, 4:00pm UTC
We got a 2 year Protection order for them after they threatened me. In the meantime my daughter filed for divorce. Now on Facebook and Linkedin, her husband is claiming her corporation as his. Maybe you saw it, Nightfire Designs.
My daughter is an Artist.
Marilyn M. Sep 23, 2012, 6:08pm UTC
Wow, Jean. The video camera is a good idea. You should also set up a sprinkler that's motion activated.
Larry H. Sep 23, 2012, 6:17pm UTC
cOUPLE HOURS AGO A NEIGHBOR GIRL (ABOUT 6 OR 7) THREW A ROCK THROUG NT WIFES REAR VAN WINDOW. PARENTS ARE PAYING TO FIX WINDOW.
Beth J. Sep 23, 2012, 6:35pm UTC
Thanks for sharing on Getting to 3000 Together
Ms Lee P. Sep 23, 2012, 9:20pm UTC
I hope they catch him. First of all he just might get himself killed trespassing on someone else's property and what's in your yard belongs to you not him. He's a thief. Hope he gets caught.
Emma Renshaw Sep 23, 2012, 9:39pm UTC
wow...stealing just signs? is he okay? O.o
Beth J. Sep 23, 2012, 10:50pm UTC
Thanks for posting on Helping Out One Another
Terry M. Sep 23, 2012, 11:01pm UTC
We have this same problem in the town I live in. I am a Union Member, but I know many of them do take signs down from opponents they do not like.
Rayda Renshaw Sep 23, 2012, 11:19pm UTC
Best of luck resolving this, Jean. I hope you can get that jerk to leave you alone.
Diane Huizenga Sep 23, 2012, 11:36pm UTC
so does he have a sign fetish or what
Pamela Marks Sep 25, 2012, 1:01pm UTC
